Today Father James Kubicki joins us to discuss his book, A Year of Daily Offerings, which encourages us to dedicate our lives to God one day at a time. He shares the inspiration behind the book, the significance of daily offerings, and how they can be integrated into family life.We also talk about the role of saints, the importance of the liturgical year, and how to offer up suffering to God. Father Kubicki emphasizes the value of living in the present and making daily offerings as a way to deepen our relationship with God.Takeaways* The daily offering is a way to live the Eucharist.* Daily offerings help us focus on the present moment.* The liturgical year provides a rhythm for our spiritual lives.* Suffering can be united with Christ's suffering for salvation.* Living just one day at a time is essential for spiritual growth.* Daily prayer can help alleviate anxiety about the future.Thank you to our sponsor!* At Rooted for Good, you can feel good about using all-natural skin care products that are good for you and do good in the world.
